Does anyone have one of these ?
I must admit that I am intrigued by them. All of the photos I have seen seem to be the same shot in different colors. So it is difficult to see how they work....there is not (as far as I can see) a description of the mechanism on their website. Innovative, they might be....but why not tell us how and why.

They seem to have the same approach as does Cold Steel with their Tri- whatever : "if you want to know how it works, buy one".
Well, I haven't fallen for that one since the original "sea monkey " scam.
But I AM curious

I thought it was a tiny version of the erie swinglock. I don't see anything on the site to indicate they are worth what they ask though.
 
Despite what the folks at Delta Z seem to claim, the design is not innovative at all. This sort of design has been in use for over 100 years.

We just got one for a future giveaway. This is a really cool little "pen" style knife. The blade is swung out after you swing the scale around. It catches the blade and the scale swings back to the "pen". Then a liner style lock (can't say "liner lock" due to a recent letter from Michael Walker

) engages the blade. It is not the cheap ones you have seen around. This is really nice.

The one we got came in a KICK ASS CocoBolo wood presentation box with a spring lock lid.

Look for my review of it in a upcomming mag article complete with many pics.
